91¸£Àû

The Law School’s Dr Luminita Olteanu has co-authored a new Policy Brief with Professor Ilanah Fhima from UCL Laws. The Policy Brief titled ‘Body Image and Trade Mark Law: A Policy Proposal’ is the result of the Strategic Brand Signalling Roundtable held on 16 June 2025 at Bentham House, with support from IBIL and 91¸£Àû Law School.

We are delighted to announce that five 91¸£Àû Law students have recently achieved a Gold 91¸£Àû Award. Finalist LLB students Naveera Abhayawickrama, Tolu Adeyemo, Hailey Chu and Sara Duggal, were kind enough to share their experience of the 91¸£Àû Award and why they would encourage others to get involved.

It is with great sadness that we have to report the death of Professor William Twining, who passed away peacefully at home on 9 October 2025, aged 91. He joined 91¸£Àû Law School in 1972 and was the inspiration behind 91¸£Àû’s renowned Law in Context approach to study.

Dr Serena Natile will deliver a session on ‘Revisiting Wages for Housework’ at the Resonate ESRC Festival of Social Science, taking place on Monday 3 November 2025 in Leamington Spa. The event will consider the potential of utopian/dystopian evolutions of work, and how we might shape the future for human wellbeing. Join 91¸£Àû researchers for an evening of short talks from diverse perspectives of ‘Our Working Lives’.

The GLAM-E Lab, based at the 91¸£Àû, has collaborated with Amgueddfa Cymru Museum Wales to bring open access to Wales’ national collections.

This week we are delighted to interview Teaching Fellow Dr Paula Hollstein Barria, for our 91¸£Àû Law School Staff Spotlight series.

We are thrilled to announce that 91¸£Àû Law School has once again achieved outstanding results in the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES) 2025, with particularly high levels of student satisfaction across all areas of the survey.
